I haven't seen any quality characteristics from Scotty. I think he is a solid performer, but he doesn't seem any more sincere than anyone else on the show. If anything, he seems kinda stuck up to me, but that's only after watching his 2-minute interviews each week. And I don't commend his parents. No matter how poised he seems on the show, his and Lauren's parents have no business allowing their children to be subjected to this show at such a tender age. And, I, having never met Scotty, his parents, his siblings or his grandparents, can't guess what values they instilled in him.

"Tons of surprises, but it wouldn't be 'American Idol' without it, would it?" Cowell told MTV News. "At the end of the day, I could go out and find 12 great singers, but that's kind of boring. The fact that there's people there who shouldn't be there makes it 'American Idol.' "

Re: Scotty McCreery Season 10

I'm not that big a fan of Scotty's. I do think he has a terrific voice, but he does tend to sound very similar in most songs. I did, however, really enjoy his 2nd song last week.

As far as commenting on him as a person, he seems like a sweet kid. Lauren does, too.

While I do prefer rock and blues and jazz and the like, I couldn't get at all behind Haley. I liked her early in the season when she did Blue, bt then her screeching just got to me. And, her personality was the final nail in the coffin. Neither Scotty nor Lauren has seemed to come across as smug and arrogant as she did. So, while I'm not that big on country, I think this final 2 is fitting.

I don't know Scotty, but I leave near Garner and from everything I've been hearing, he is a very decent, down to earth guy. I haven't seen anything that would indicate to me that he is stuck up and during his home visit he seemed genuinely appreciative of everything. Like I said, I don't personally know him, so I'm just going by what I have seen and heard.

Re: Scotty McCreery Season 10

Scotty seems like a nice, respectful kid to me too. I haven't noticed even a hint of his being stuck-up in any of the clips I've seen. Scotty wasn't my favorite, but he's got a great voice and I wish him well.

Haley, James, Jacob and even Lauren, have all been accused of being arrogant this year. Last year Adam, Danny and Kris were accused of being arrogant, many times. I guess American Idol really attracts jerks as contestants. Thankfully the sweet, angelic and modest Scotty has rescued American Idol from its parade of meanies.

The bottom line is since we don't know these people, we can only go by what we perceive. Some of them do seem more full of themselves than others do, but maybe what I see as arrogant someone else won't. Maybe its part of the fun to pick people apart, because as hard as I try to remain neutral and just enjoy the show, I almost never manage it (see previous posts about Haley).
